My kids are the most important "thing" in my life. They are super cute, funny, fun, caring and, well, they drive me crazy. But more than that, they burden my heart because my greatest desire is for them to grow up loving the Lord and knowing Jesus Christ as their personal savior. I love that they are learning the Bible Truths and examples (I don't like calling them "stories" because the Bible is real - it is not a story book). They understand more than I sometimes give them credit for and I love their simple, innocent ideas. For example, Nate will tell me there are Four parts to God (not just the three parts - the Trinity). My dad is probably cringing at the doctrinal implication I'm about to shatter HA According to Nate there is, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and God, the father of Abraham. :-) I love it. Anytime a discussion comes up about the Trinity - Nate has to remind us that God is actually four parts ;-)

Anyway, I cam across a great chart over at Keeping it Personal. This chart shares 31 Biblical Principals to Pray for our children.

The blog author gives a great idea that goes beyond just praying these virtues. She suggests actually talking about them with your children each day. Sure, some of the ideas might be over a child's head depending on their age but that doesn't really matter. The more we talk about things, the more kids learn. So, for make-it-Monday, I'm printing this off for myself and I'm going to work on doing this every day; every month. Not only praying these for my children but talking to them about these virtues.

About Me

I am a wife and mother - and a stay at home mom. I have two boys who are 4 and 5 and was asked "What do you do?" and my response was . .. nothing? I'm unemployed? I stay at home? I'm a mom? At which time I realized . . .I'm "Unworking". I'm "just" a mom who doesn't work; what an understandment!

Family

My Little Fam

My husband Darryl and I have been married for 12 years and have known each other for . . 13 years. We met on-line through a site called Christian Matchmaker.com on Oct. 31, 2000, met in person on December 16, 2000, were engaged on March 18, 2001 and Married August 4, 2001. When you are "old" you know what you are looking for!! We were married for 7 years before being blessed with baby #1, Josh, who is currently 5 years old and than baby #2, Nate, who is currently 4 years old. We also have some furry kids too - China is our sweet pooch whom we adopted in July 2003. She is a dignified mutt who loves to sleep . . and . . .sleep. (Couch potato!). Than we have Misty who is my cat. She is about 18 years old but still acts like she is a kitten. That's us :-)
